The 10 Best Dupes for the Viral Dior Lip Glow Oil
TikTok made me buy it.
A year ago, when I tried to buy the Dior Lip Glow Oil, it was sold out everywhere (annoying effects of going TikTok viral). While you can now purchase it more easily, some lip gloss connoisseurs lament that the product doesn’t live up to the hype. As gorgeous as the original Dior Lip Glow Oil is, a $40 price tag in this economy is a pretty expensive way to keep your lips hydrated and soft.
And lucky for you, you don’t have to—I’ve gathered some alternatives that are just as gorgeous and shiny at a more affordable price point (thank me later).
Whether you’re obsessed with the tint, glossy effects, or built-in hydrating ingredients, there are many products on the market rivaling Dior’s version. Some, dare I say it, are better than the original. ELLE Editors are particularly obsessed with Rare Beauty’s Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil (which literally costs half the price) and we got all the details from Selena Gomez herself on the product, which she revealed took two years to create.
Affordable doesn’t mean lesser than, so if you want high shine at an affordable price, here are 10 dupes for the Dior Lip Glow Oil to help your pockets ride out this recession.
Created by powerhouse genius Lady Gaga, this lip oil will leave your lips feeling hydrated and looking glowy, but never sticky. Once the original application fades, you're left with a subtle tint that lasts all day.
Sephora rating: 4.3/5 stars
A Sephora reviewer said: “Reminds me of the Dior lip gloss however so much better! It’s much more hydrating than the Dior and lasts longer! Also is not as sticky as the Dior and much more affordable. Love Love Love.”

Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil in Serenity
Selena Gomez is ensuring our lips are hydrated and silky, not sticky. Launching in 2023, these new tinted lip oils leave a nice, glossy sheen. However, if you are looking for pigment, most of the shades are subtle. Gomez exclusively shared with ELLE.com, “It’s different from other lip oils because the transformative texture is unlike anything I have experienced in a lip oil. When applied, it goes on like a jelly but transforms into a hydrating formula. It’s special! Most lip oils I have tried have a smaller shade range because it’s hard to develop, but it was really important to us to create a wide range that would be flattering for any skin tone.” Check out ELLE’s TikTok on the Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil to see it across various skin tones.

ILIA Balmy Gloss Tinted Lip Oil
ILIA Balmy Gloss Tinted Lip Oil
This clean lip oil leaves just a hint of color for the subtlest shine without feeling too made up or glossy. It’s the best product for a “Your lips but better” look.
Amazon rating: 4.5/5 stars
An Amazon reviewer said: “Nice color and feels good on. Seems to last even after eating and drinking would buy again.”
Infused with hydrating jojoba oil, vitamin E, and apricot oil, this tinted lip moisturizer will make your mouth look like your lips but better. Plus, with a $6 price tag, you can grab all five shades guilt-free.
Amazon rating: 4.5/5 stars
An Amazon reviewer said: “Great product! I am allergic to most stuff out there these days but I can wear this without issue! Great color and texture on and doesn’t get tacky.”
Hyaluronic acid both hydrates and plumps dry lips while real honey in the formula attracts moisture to ensure that lips don’t dry out over time.
Gisou rating: 4.8/5 stars
A Gisou reviewer said: “This is actually an oil and not a gummy, sticky, gloss like most "lip oils" on the market right now. I have repurchased this product because of its results. The reason for four stars instead of five is because of the shedding applicator. A silicone one would solve this problem!”
LYS Beauty Speak Love Glossy Lip Treatment Oil
LYS Beauty Speak Love Glossy Lip Treatment Oil
A blend of sunflower, carrot, sweet almond, and macadamia nut oils are the powerhouses behind this deeply moisturizing clean lip treatment from a Black-owned brand.
Sephora rating: 4.5/5 stars
A Sephora reviewer said: “This product is amazing. I do like the plastic applicator bc it is easy to clean. It makes my lips juicy and lasts for a few hours.”
For intense amounts of shine, this lip gloss from Kosas will leave your lips looking juicy, luxurious, and straight out of an editorial ad.
Nordstrom rating: 4.2/5 stars
A Nordstrom reviewer said: “OMG...I’ve already worn 2 of the colors - Jaws (red color) & Jellyfish (clear color)..both wear beautifully on my skin tone (MAC - NC45), especially Jaws, it’s such a wearable red color that gives a pretty tint to the lip without being over the top & just brightens up my face...I’ll totally reach for it often given the ease of use! The shine from these glosses is AMAZING, feels luxurious like silk, and has absolutely NO heavy or sticky/tacky feeling, unfortunately, like the Pat McGrath mini glosses I have. The packaging is pure quality & just pretty; this is one gloss that you won’t lose in your bag since it’s not the standard gloss tube. I am ready to purchase MORE colors even though I just got the 2 colors I mentioned..it’s that GOOD, plus packed with clean & nourishing ingredients..it’s a WINNER!”
Clarins Lip Comfort Oil Hydrating and Plumping Lip Oil
Clarins Lip Comfort Oil Hydrating and Plumping Lip Oil
Think of this oil as a mood ring for your lips. Five of the eight shades the tint comes in react to your skin’s pH and adjusts accordingly, creating a hue that’s all your own. Despite the rich tones in the bottle, the gloss doles out a sheer finish that looks effortlessly done.
Clarins rating: 4.7/5 stars
A Clarins reviewer said: “Beautiful hydration and shine. Lips are softer and the lip oil is not greasy.”
The delicious scents of Passionfruit Coconut, Strawberry Melon, Raspberry Peach, and Cherry Lime were inspired by the yummiest fruits in the produce section. All four shades are made with natural fruit extracts alongside hydrating vitamin E and jojoba oil. One swipe will leave you with shiny, glowing lips that taste as good as they smell.
Ulta rating: 4.6/5 stars
An Ulta reviewer said: “This is pretty hydrating, has a nice comfortable texture, and smells and tastes so good!!! I just want to eat it lol. Also lasts pretty long for a lip oil.”
Merit’s version of this trendy product is so easy, you can apply it without even looking in a mirror. The formula taps rosehip and jojoba oils, and shea butter, to give your lips a dose of hydration as it glistens.
Sephora rating: 4.4/5 stars
A Sephora reviewer said: “For those that are looking for a lip gloss that actually has color, the Merit Lip Oil in Taupe is the perfect neutral lip shade. This makes my lips feel better than any lip oil I have tried, Dior included. If you want to maintain the color payoff you might want to line your lips first with a lipliner or just re-apply the product! Great packaging, great product, I wouldn't expect anything less from Merit!”
